I broke a promise to my GF by texting my ex. What can I do?
Few months after my girlfriend (26F) and I (29M)started dating, my girlfriend said, she feels it’s disrespectful to her if I am in contact with my ex. I said I was totally fine with it and it’s understandable. Honestly I didn’t mind breaking contact with my ex, she is my ex for a reason. I don’t have anything for her. We broke up on good terms and she is just a person who was part of my life for a few years and thats pretty much it now. Evening has been good with my current GF, I’m having the best time with her. I know she is the one, I haven’t experienced the kind of love my GF gives ever. I have been building a life together in my head with her. Yesterday my GF accidentally found a conversation in my phone with my EX. I happened to wish my EX on her birthday recently and a few hey how are you messages from several months ago. Honestly, the chats didn’t mean much, didn’t have much too. My girlfriend is extremely upset that I broke her trust, I broke the promise. I haven’t seen her this upset at me. I apologized right away, even though the content of the texts didn’t have much, I understand I broke my promise, I broke her trust.
I have been apologizing so much. I don’t really know what to do. I can’t really imagine a life without her. I know I’m on the wrong and all I can do I apologize and hope to win her trust back someday but I feel extremely broken, shattered.
What can I do to fix this situation?
